The last update we had on the Easton TVS1740 based positive displacement supercharger kit for the S65 V8 in the E9X M3 was back in September with a small teaser video showing the hardware running on an M3. This is a difficult project and to date there is no positive displacement based supercharger kit available for the E9X M3 as they are all based on a centrifugal blower. BimmerBoost is glad to see progress has been made along with some preliminary power figures being released at 5.5 psi of boost.

BimmerBoost of course has to ask, why was it only run to 7000 rpm on the dyno? What is the power figure at redline? Why was a dyno graph not shown? Clearly these are details that will all come but all questions BimmerBoost members will no doubt be asking.

This a very difficult project to tune for due to the independent throttle bodies but it seems Harrop has developed a solution involved an electronic blow off valve to bleed boost so air is not forced onto the throttle bodies when they are closed.

There is still work to be done but this kit is coming along nicely and will be quite different in its power delivery to anything else currently on the market.

My point is a Centri with 5-7psi will lose to a root style of same boost range. I only brought up my boost so he understand, I am not dogging his set up and I am too running a Centrifugal.

Like I said, boost is only one aspect, looking forward to running against one, and showing people wrong, as is common practice these days.
I love roots blowers, the sound is intoxicating. ? I had one before, so after having more and more experience with different setups and KNOWING the pros and cons to each, its easy to see what will happen.

The harrop, again, looks monstrously fun, but its the polar opposite of a vortech. Major tq all over, but the s65 will hate it up top. It will resemble an n54 power curve.

What are you talking about? You have a supercharged on a used M3, relax there. What exactly have you shown or done? You don't hold any record for anything on the platform and never have or will. You seriously delude yourself and it's comical to the actual people who matter on the platform.

W T F

LOL, and people are supposed to take you seriously? Um, this is what a supercharged M156 looks like with a positive displacement:

How does it look like an N54? Actually, it looks like the stock curve just moved up EVERYWHERE as it would on the M3 as you are making the max boost as it is spinning at the set spinning from the pulley EVERYWHERE.

It's always funny to see this guy try to talk tech. So turbo power curves are roots curves now? Too funny.

Nobody is sitting here and pitting the centri kits against this performance wise. You don't need to constantly interject and remind everyone you have an Evolve kit. We get it, cool, you have a supercharged M3. Now let's get back to talk about a setup other than yours k thx bye.

Please, do explain to everyone why the S65 will look like an N54 curve suddenly. Please, we're all waiting.

Umm that is a pretty nice curve and secondly the curve with the blower mirrors it except moving it up. The blower doesn't suddenly make it something different. Once again, you don't know what you're talking about and it's sad.

Try reading the thread and maybe you will understand I created it because I like the idea but went into the reasons why it is difficult to do and we have not seen it. If you don't believe me, talk to Harop. I did at Bimmerfest and have have an ongoing dialog with them, do you? Oh, nope, you don't.

Oh, ok, because at 5.5 psi an Eaton TVS is generating how much heat? Do you know where a roots is most efficient? It's like talking to an infant about tuning.

They are keeping it up and that's the whole point. Interjecting with trying to compare yourself to it is self-centered, narrow minded, and narcissistic. Maybe you should just let people talk about the kit? I won't show you much more patience if this continues.

Sticky, why do you feel the need to project your personal attributes on me? It woukd be wise to stop calling and emailing people and talking negatively about me as well, ive remained as civil and professional as possible, returning the favor would suit you well...

Oh, and lets see some iats of 5.5 psi at 7k rpms.. ive seen them, but hey, who cares about data when you can create information based on no experience

Im going to have to disagree with you I don't see how you see a n54 curve in that Weistec M156. The n54 falls off hard up top and your basically losing power after 6K rpm while this motor makes power all the way to redline and never falls only slightly flattens up top while still climbing positively. The n54 will be falling off a cliff at this point. The m156 does flow well that's why you see it mirror it's stock curve with just a lot more hp/torque because it's making ~7psi across the rev range not just at higher rpm while building boost down low/ mid like a centri. Just don't get how you see it resemble the n54 curve at all

You seriously think I call or e-mail people about you? Yeah, my call log is filled with me dialing out to people across the country to discuss some guy on my forum. Are you high?

Please, post these messages or phone calls. I give you permission.

Stop making things up and creating drama constantly. You haven't seen anything from Harrop.

All it takes is a glance at the graph and even someone who knows absolutely nothing about cars can see it.

A positive displacement will move the stock curve up everywhere throughout the rev range not just in certain areas as it isn't spinning an impeller that increases boost with an increase in engine rpm. It is always making boost. Supercharger 101.
